We are getting ever closer to departing the UK and heading over to Calais to begin our slow meander down into Spain.
I am starting to get concerned about the temperatures that we will be getting and thinking about changing the original plan which was to slowly make our way through France, and then head either through Portugal south or through Spain south, thinking now that we maybe need to move a bit more quickly through these countries to get where it is warmer, quicker.
The mountain areas concern me as I don't have the right tyres or snow chains and I really want to avoid the extremes in temperatures and the snow.
So, what would be the best route to take, avoiding tolls and where possible tunnels (long ones.........SWMBO doesn't like tunnels at all)
I'm sure there is masses of experience here, so what route do you take and why?
